## Reviews

### "Scalable, easy to use, API first E-commerce platform" — 5.0/5

> **Michel** | *14 October 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: A CMS that helps the merchant really create shopping experiences that would be hard to create with other ecommerce platforms.
> 
> **Cons**: Lacking functionalities are built every day. So current cons will be gone soon.

-----

### "Easy startup and running. Hard to update." — 5.0/5

> **Adem** | *18 July 2025* | Building Materials | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The initial setup is very straight forward. Another point to cover is, there is a good tool set to import from other shops. Also the flows are great and automate much of the steps.
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes its hard to find out, which text fragment is for what part of the overall site. And the templating feature is really hard to understand. But the worst thing is, you can brick your shop while updating. So be careful and backup everything before running the update.
> 
> I've used it many years and still running my online shop with it. It's also pre configured. You just need to bring in your products and setup payment methods, and you're ready to go.

### "Good SEO, high readiness, but BUGy - It's getting better, but sometimes not" — 3.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *12 September 2025* | Wholesale | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Initial appearance and initial finalization rate of a webshop. It is quite easy to create simple websites and handle orders. Many professional plugins from PayPal over DHL to smaller design add-ons. It seems to have a good SEO ranking. Foundation for a highly professional e-commerce shop when having a big budget is possible.
> 
> **Cons**: Multitude of Bugs and incompatibility with updates. Change of business model for perpetually bought licenses so that you need to switch to rental model after two years. Plugins wont work with future versions of Shopware. As there were and still are so many Bugs, an update is a must do.
> 
> A long way to go, but quite flexible despite it's initial readiness and user friendliness. High investment required with many adjustments and add-ons necessary in order to get to a solid and working e-commerce shop.&#10;&#10;Unfortunately, we are now stuck at Version 6.6.x due to update incompatibilities with our add-ons and shopware6 own rules.

### "Shop management software built for speeds" — 5.0/5

> **Fred** | *25 April 2022* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: ShopWare is super fast and easy to use. Switching to ShopWare is one of the best decisions that I've made in business
> 
> **Cons**: The data transfer from my old SMS (Mitchell) was a mess. I wouldn't have transferred data if I knew what it would cause so many problems.
> 
> ShopWare has been a great company to work with. The software is constantly improving.

### "Good foundation for e-commerce business" — 4.0/5

> **Renick** | *13 November 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Modern, clean user interface for clients. Modern stack especially with Twig templating. Has lots of features for European market.
> 
> **Cons**: Has lots of bugs and premium features are really expensive. Lots of mid-size companies struggle to afford this solution. For smaller projects it is too expensive. They focusing much on enterprise. But lots of customers have midsize projects.
> 
> Good tech approaches for providing a platform for e-commerce.
